Chapter 406


    “We should always remember our roots, as people always say. No matter how sessful Adrian has


    be, It doesn’t change the fact that he and Chubbs have known each other since they were little.


    “Plus, Chubbs values his friendships very much so Adrian helping him also means he’s helping himself.


    “Also, Adrian’s the legate so how is he supposed to face the entire country if he doesn’t do something


    that simple?”


    Joanna let off a wry stnile. ‘She’s right.‘


    At that thought, Joanna said, “You’re right. I sincerely hope there aren’t that many Waces in the


    world, or God knows how bad things will get for everyone else”


    Samantha nodded and said. “By the way, Adrian, how’s Chubbs? I was nning on visiting him but I


    was so busy with work. Plus, Mother’s there with him.”


    “He’s fine now,” Adrian replied.


    Samantha nodded before she asked, “What exactly happened between Chubbs and Wace? It


    doesn’t make sense why Wace would hurt him this badly for no good reason.”


    Joanna thought it strange as well. Why would the governor do something this cruel to a mere civilian?


    Although Wace’s death spread like wildfire on social media, nobody knew what the actual canse was,


    nor did the press release any official statements. Hence, Adrian told them everything that happened


    between Chuck and Laurel and what happened to Chuck after.


    When the women found out that Laurel was the spark that had lit the me, Samantha furrowed her


    eyebrows and said, “This Laurel woman is trouble. She’s got a nice name, yet she did all this.


    ”


    Joanna added, “How nice could Chuck possibly be to ept a woman who has had an abortion? Also,


    this woman is just vile, sleeping around with so many men. At the same time, no less! Oh, my God!


    Just thinking about it gives me shivers!”


    Adrian shook his head andughed. “Chubbs has a one–track mind when ites to romantic


    partners, plus he’s a very honest man. A lot of women today are always out looking for men like him to


    prey on.


    Samantha said, “Have you found her then? She’s the entire reason this happened to Chubbs. She


    cheated him out of his house and colluded with Cormac. We can’t let her get away with this!”


    “I’m looking for her as we speak. Shemitted fraud that affected others rather badly so, ording to


    thew, she should be sent to prison‘


    Joanna took Chuck’s side and said, “That’s too light of a sentence. Women like her should be


    executed! That vile witch!”


    Adrian waved his hand in the air as Samantha shot Joana a re.


    “Do you have no idea what women are like these days? Try guling outside and picking out any women


    you see. I’m sure you’ll find another Laurel among them.”


    “Sorry, but I’m too old to try and do what r did to anyone. I’m out!” Jaamamented.


    “All right, that’s enough. Let’s eat.” Samantha put a stop to the topic.


    Your


    After that, she turned to Juno, who was still working on her homework. “Come eat with us, Junto. You


    can finish yo homeworkter.”

    “Okay.” Juno obediently acknowledged and just down her books, joining the table to have dinner as a


    family.


    After that, Samantha brought Juno with her for a shower. Most of the time, Hun would help Juo with this


    since it was still a little inconvenient for thetter. Since Rue was not around that night, it was up to


    Samantha to do it as Juno’s sister–inw.


    They both retired to their separate bedrooms after they were done showering


    Inside Samantha’s room, Adrian wasying against the bed, ying games on his phone. Samantha


    got into bed and wrapped


    herself around Adrian. “It’s a Sunday tomorrow so I’m off work. Is there anything you’d like to do


    tomorrow? I’lle with you.”


    Adrian thought about it for a moment and said, “Let’s decide tomorrow.”
